God knows I never wanted anything more
than what you offered
in the first place, it wasn't first base
it was my understanding it was intimacy
and attraction, the satisfaction
of lying next to you when you're next to me
Make a strong case for waking up lonely in the afternoon
there's more than heartache to make you threadbare
your time is coming soon
from the minute you were born you're a slave made to die
you're the smallest speck of nothing and the apple of my eye
and when I say I can see you, I really mean I'm seeing me
all my fear an anger, and all of my grief
God knows I never wanted anything more
than what you offered
in the first place, it wasn't first base
it was my understanding it was intimacy
and attraction, the satisfaction
of lying next to you when you're next to me
Hey, you're good damage,
walk through the cracks of your history
hey, you're last chance to fill up with gold
I call you kintsugi
Hey, you're good damage
God knows I never wanted anything more
than what you offered
in the first place, it wasn't first base
it was my understanding it was intimacy
and attraction, the satisfaction
God knows I never wanted anything more
than what you offered
in the first place, it wasn't first base
it was my understanding it was intimacy
and attraction, the satisfaction
of lying next to you when you're next to me
Hey, you're good damage,
walk through the cracks of your history
Hey, you're last chance to fill up with gold
I call you Kintsugi
Hey, you're good damage
of lying next to you when you're next to me

I pretend you could be, you pretend you would be,
I pretend that you could be around
I pretend you could be, you pretend you should be,
I pretend you should be around at all
You can be suspicious, but don't forget the dish is
far from over and far from cut out
You can tie the stitches on lower city bridges
try to make the best of it and work it out
I pretend you could be, you pretend you would be,
I pretend that you could be around
I pretend you could be, you pretend you should be,
I pretend you should be around at all
You can be suspicious but don't forget the dish it
far from over and far from cut out
Don't you know the truth is all about the bruises?
You can hide your face or we could blur it out
I pretend you could be, you pretend you would be,
I pretend that you could be around
I pretend you could be, you pretend you should be,
I pretend you should be around at all

Well I could lie and say you never were a thing you said,
but it takes a lion's share to make a martyr share your bed.
I think it takes a lot tot write down all the things you said,
I'm better off just sleeping, I can read them when I'm dead
You never wanted me
You never want to see
the things that you could be
Well you could fill a book with all the dreams inside your head
and it makes a lot of sense that you're in love with him instead.
And I think it takes a lot to keep a calm and level head,
because I just fall apart when you're not lying in my bed
I never wanted this
It takes a million hits
and I just fall to bits
I know you can't stop you're making waves,
it takes a lot to give your all and give your everything
you break, you shake, you're taking skin and names
I know you can't stop you're making waves,
it takes a lot to give your all and give your everything
you break, you shake, you're taking skin and names
I'm breaking skin and playing games
We never wanted this
It takes a single hit
and I just fall to bits
I know you can't stop you're making waves,
it takes a lot to give your all and give your everything
you break, you shake, you're taking skin and names
I know you can't stop you're making waves,
it takes a lot to give your all and give your everything
you break, you shake, you're taking skin and names
I'm breaking skin and playing games

Your mother's eyes were red with tears she never cried
My baby blue eyes only see the truth in your lies
My mother's eyes were only red with tears she cried, I lie awake
and lie to you all of the time, I can't relate
I run into the woods, you know I see the moonlight in your eyes
I'm not afraid of us, but it's me that's terrified of your eyes

Never Go Away
02:53

I don't think I'm gonna be sad today
I'm sure I'll be just fine.
You know that I prefer the solitude and
I would never lie to you
Please wait, my bad, I'm breaking promises
I never even knew we had
Don't go, please stay, I'll do whatever it takes
to make sure you never go away
I don't think I'm gonna be sad today
You know I'm gonna be just fine.
You know I got that stoic kind of mind that's hard to find
and you know that I'm too afraid to die
Please wait, my bad, I'm breaking promises
I never even knew we had
Don't go, please stay, I'll do whatever it takes
to make sure you never go away
Please wait, my bad, I'm breaking promises
I never even knew we had
Don't go, please stay, I'll do whatever it takes
to make sure you never go away
Please wait
Please stay
I'll do whatever it takes
just please say
you'll never go away

There is a light that I find behind your eyes and in your spine
and there far beneath reading right between the rocks and the hard lines
is you, because you're in my head and I can't get you out
you know I swear I've tried a million times before and a million times again
but heaven knows I'll try
So here's to you!
I confess, I'm a mess, and I'd give my all to rectify my uselessness,
I'm on deck to do my best to forsake and make the best of it
There deep inside I think I could learn to live without you in my life
But God be damned with me, I would carve your name into my heart
and never sleep
Or let you rest in peace.
So here's to you!
I confess, I'm a mess, and I'd give my all to rectify my uselessness,
I'm on deck to do my best to forsake and make the best of it
I'm on deck, we're all hands and no plans and we're the best of it
I'm on deck, we're all hands and no plans and we'll make the best of it

I wanna live out in the desert in a hut.
I think it would be good for my spirituality.
Because I heard LSD and memories and copious amounts of obscurity
could lead you to the end of the world
Well I wish for nothing more than the end of the world, and I want
nothing more than the end of me
I wanna live out in the desert in a hut.
I think it would be good for my spirituality.
Because I wanna be the kind of cowboy who can live out in the Gobi,
and smoke a hundred packs a day and never cough.
I think it's just the kind of wisdom I need to knock my block off
and give me the peace I need to sleep
Well I wish for nothing more than a hundred packs of cigarettes, and I want
nothing more than to try and get some sleep
I wanna live out in the desert in a hut
I think it would be good for my spirituality,
but I don't give a damn about the spirit and I don't believe in me, and
Heaven knows, I couldn't stand the heat.
I wanna live out in the desert in a hut

but I don't give a damn about the spirit and I don't believe in me, and
Heaven knows, I couldn't stand the heat.
Because I wanna be the kind of cowboy that my Grandpa saw in me
and write a million little stories for my Grandmother to read
but I can't self motivate, and navigate all the roads I need to succeed
and Heaven knows, I don't believe in me
Heaven knows, I don't believe in me
Heaven knows, I don't believe in me
Heaven knows, I don't believe in me

Captain Trevor Morgan was the finest sailor I met
and he turned his eyes up to the sky and covered his face as he wept
He said,
God knows I could've been a farmer like my father before me and
I never would've stepped a foot out of town, I would've better watched my feet
and He said,
But I'm a man, I'm a man, I am only one man and what's a man to do?
If I look like a sinner you can call me a sinner but I sure look a lot like you
Father Gregor Martin watched the priory doorstep
and he turned his eyes up to the sky and he offered as he wept
He said,
God knows I could've been a farmer like my father before me and
I never would've stepped a foot out of town, I would've better watched my feet
and He said,
But I'm a man, I'm a man, I am only one man and what's a man to do?
If I look like a sinner you can call me a sinner but I sure look a lot like you
My old man was the greatest dad and the finest man I've met,
I raised my hand up to the sky and he lifted me as he wept,
He said,
I wanna be a better father than my father before me so I'm never
gonna step a foot out of town I'm gonna better watch your feet
but I'm a man I'm a man, I am only one man, and what's a man to do?
well if I look like a sinner you can call me a sinner but I'll be a better man for you
well if I look like a sinner you can call me a sinner but I'll be a better man for you

Miss You

Hip check yourself in the mirror, don't think twice
You just might blink and miss, I never seem to miss
You think you taught me how to swim
Well I promise you, I still can't swim
As much as I would like to learn to swim
But I just can't ever seem to win
Hip check yourself in the mirror, don't think twice
You just might blink and miss, I never seem to miss
You think you taught me how to choke
Well I promise you all I've ever done is choke
You could teach me how to cope
Cause I learn best without a rope
Hip check yourself in the mirror, don't think twice
you just might blink and miss, I never seem to miss
Hip check yourself in the mirror, don't think twice
you just might blink and miss, I never seem to miss

Hey, Don't Go That Way
04:58

You know that I can only believe in anything for so long,
as guts and drugs and flesh and blood and God knows
I believe in Love
Well I did, I do, at least I think I do, I miss you
Because I think, I sink, I drink but am I drowning
I'm falling, though I think I can fly
Until the cracks in the ground remind me of the last time I fell
and the folks in the streets and in pornography remind me
I've got nothing to sell
Hey, Hey
Don't go that way
I suck, I know, you're right you should go, I know you're right
I should have known
But it's there all the time in the back of my mind, because I'm scared
all the time, you should have known!
But how could you have known?
Hey, Hey
I know it feels that way
I'll be what you need
Even if it kills me
I'll do what you need
To say you'll never leave
Because there just aren't enough apologies, or words enough to say
I am sorry
Hey,
Hey, Hey
I know it feels that way
Hey, Hey
Don't talk that way
